Dead Rite chapter 136.03

Jasfoup
clapped him on the back. “You're no fun, Harold.”

“I didn't
realise this was supposed to be a jolly trip.” He peered though the
observation window in the next door, shrugged and moved on. “An
empty one.”

Jasfoup bent
to look through as well. “No it isn't.”

“I just
looked in.” Harold pushed him to one side. “There's nothing in
there at all.”

“I beg to
differ.” Jasfoup tried the door. “There's a couple of monkeys on
the far side of the room. Some mice, too, I think, though they could
be any small rodent. I can't tell from their spirits from here.”

“Honestly,
I can't see a thing.”

“How odd.
There must be some sort of camouflage netting in there.” Jasfoup
gave him a nudge. “Or a cloth painted to look like the wall
behind.”

I saw that
on a film, once.” Harold rattled the door knob. “I don't get it.
This is supposed to be a research facility. Why isn't there anyone
here? Apart from those possessed workers downstairs and a couple of
security guards we haven't seen anyone in the facility.”

“That's
because its closed.”

“What?”

“There
was an alarm that sounded just after we got in the elevator. The
whole place has been evacuated and the military police called.
There's going to be an armed squad in here in the next half an hour.”
